editI have added in a plot summary and source for this novel. Ivankinsman 11:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
The source is highly likely to be his time in Nigeria. The doctor is clearly based on his father; the locations easy to place with maps of Ibadan and (especially) the University of Ibadan. The events read like a telling of pre-1966 Nigeria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bendel boy (talk • contribs) 09:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

editThe plot summary is incorrect. Leafy does not "regain his girl" at the end of the novel, rather he has a one off sexual encounter with her mother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.120.136 (talk) 11:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Dr Murray character.
editThe inspiration for this character is referenced, and indeed obvious. It might be relevant to mention that Boyd's father was named Dr Alexander Murray Boyd. Hanoi Road (talk) 13:18, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
